Their hook-up came only after Adam's partner Olivia Buckland pulled him aside earlier in the day and admitted that she simply wasn't feeling a romantic connection.

"I just wanted to talk to you because obviously I've been a bit weird. Distant," Olivia told Adam. "But like obviously I'm glad you picked me but I feel like we haven't got that connection, do you know what I mean? I just can't.

"It's eating me up, because I wanted to give it time but when I know, I know. And I feel like we are friends, we get along but I just don't get that clicky feeling. I just compare it with the feeling of Terry.

"When he came in, I did get that feeling, and obviously it didn't work out and obviously that affected me. But if I don't get that feeling, I don't want to fake it. I'm not a fake person. I'm honest and I'm true to myself. It's so horrible. Maybe now you can get to know Zara."

An understanding Adam consoled Olivia: "I'm glad you came and told me. I think you're cool and it's just part of [the game]. It's part of life. It's cool."

It wasn't long before Adam went to Zara to reveal that Olivia had broken off their coupling.

"Do you not find it a bit weird that she's just come out and said that?" Zara wondered.

Adam replied: "If the girl's not interested, she's not interested. Again, I'm not going to beg and try and be like, 'Just give me a chance, let me take you on a few dates and we'll see.' If she's like, 'I don't like you', okay cool."

In the Beach Hut later on, Zara gleefully boasted: "It's my opportunity to start afresh, see what happens. Be a little bit more sassy.

"We have set up a Zara training camp, just to sort of specialise in flirting, giving eye contact and hopefully potentially finding me a nice boy. I've learnt a lot in here already, and with the girls' advice, I'm going to be fine. I can do this."
